What good is it to try to prove that God exists? You blind shepherds, instead, make them see clearly so that they will seek Him themselves. Show them the world without God, and if they reject you, by doing this, they prove that they are evil. If they were not, they would have recognized the truth.They know that a stone doesn't ask the one who stumbles, "Did it hurt?", nor do the waters save you from drowning out of compassion. How can there be justice without judgment, and judgment without the one who judges? How can the gift be sacred without the altar that makes it sacred? Likewise, how can there be value if it has nothing to stand on? Your desires are your gods, and you choose to be a slave to them. Know this: in your own world, your life is utterly worthless, but not so in mine. Indeed, we both share in one and the same life, and we are both accountable to the one and the same God. He is the eternal life, the one and only true God, revealed through Christ.Come to me, all you who are in great distress; take pasture in my words. To anyone who finds my words true, I am like a gentle shepherd, but to anyone who is not of the truth, I am like a scorpion that stings. This is why it is said, "Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed." If the truth torments you, do not think that this will make me stop. Instead, I will seek to become the dungeon master as to torment you day and night. I have made the truth known to you, yet you choose the world where you can indulge in your depraved desires, while there is no one to feed the starving child, no one to heal the sick and comfort the one in pain, and no one to bring about justice. This is the world you are asking for when you say, "There is no God!"I can testify: He is there, and soon the starving will be fed, the sick healed, and the one in pain comforted. Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream.
>>544531480I just realized less than an hour ago that I don't want to kill myself because I hate myself. I want to kill myself because I hate everyone on this planet.
Friend, you must realize that there is a difference between knowing, believing, and having faith and hope. I speak with certainty because I've had faith long enough for Him to show Himself to me, but in the beginning, it was not this way. I doubted, and I still do sometimes. It begins with hope and trust. If you understand the meaninglessness of the world if there is nothing beyond, and you see all the evil of the world, this produces hope. Hope produces faith, faith produces trust, trust produces perseverance, perseverance produces transformation, and transformation produces knowledge. Begin with reading the words of Jesus. His words are true.
>>544531480Know this: tradition will not save you, nor will religion save you. Neither your church nor denomination will save you. Not one ritual will ever save you, but the transformed heart will save you.The Son did not come into the world to call you to perform rituals in His name. He came into the world to reveal what the Father is like, so that through grace, you may be formed into His likeness.He Himself said: "Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'"These are not people who rejected Him. These are people who claim that they did many great works in His name, yet they are told, "I never knew you." Why is this? Because their security was in what is external, not in what is internal.God does not know you merely by going to church or performing rituals in His name. To know God and to be known by God is through the spirit. This is not to say that you should not go to church, as Jesus said, "You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former."Many of you are neglecting the former, that is, the growth in the spirit. You have not given up the self and its desires as you were called to do. We have an obligation, to put to death the desires of the flesh through faith and perseverance.This is what grace is for, so that when you fall, you do not need to be paralyzed in failure, but pick up your mat and walk. Know that you are already forgiven, and that God loves you, even as I love you.Stop judging by appearances and instead turn to Him sincerely and be formed into His likeness.

>>544531480Listen Tapio, i'm not going to read all your verbal diarrhea (even though i may agree with it) but would you please, next time, use a different picture that doesn't look like a gigantic dick ready to penetrate a minuscule gloryhole? Call me a degenerate or whatever but that's what looks like from distance, i'm sure you can convey your point with a different schematic.
>>544531480There is no god. It's just egregores up and down Jacob's Ladder. Even you, yourself dear lurker, are an egregore.
>>544532594>>544533246How is it that you people still don't understand that I am not doing what I am doing because I want to? I am doing what I have to do. How many times do I need to tell you that I know that He is there? The desires of this world will soon be taken away from you; therefore, invest in what is eternal. You have no excuse before God because if you believe that there is no God, you must also believe there is no purpose, and if there is no purpose, what prevents you from hoping that God is there? Nothing is preventing you from doing this besides the self and its desires; therefore, you have no excuse.
>>544533302>GodSounds like Roko's Basilisk to me.Ponder me this: If your 'God' is a system which exists wholly outside of the universe, and omniscient enough to see all of its future plainly, and occasionally said 'God' interacts with this universe using its omnipotence, then how does 'God' maintain omniscience?

>>544531480This sounds dumb OP, not gonna lie. The dr. travis from skinwalker ranch research team has much better theory that coincide with the gnostics, but even then it's dumb because it's base on things like inflation and so on. but he has gone as far as saying our (((simulated))) universe is just a blackhole with 13 solar masses or something like that inside another universe.But I disagree due to misinterpretation of the data and lack of, I still remain agnostic.Why so many tards are so obsess with the idea of a god anyway? Wtf that has to do with you? Or anyone? Nobody is becoming super, much less immortal and much less a god so tell me, how that change anything, really?The whole fragmented sofia thing is bullshit, my will is my own.
